WE did have fun dressed up in mediaeval garb for the opening night of NEOS at Hallgreen Castle. You can always spot the artists in the Great Hall when you come up to view our work – we will be here until Sunday 17th!

It’s getting nearer every day! As a member of the Mavericks Art Group I will be at Hallgreen Castle on Saturday, 9th, Saturday 16th, and Sunday 17th, exhibiting my work and giving demonstrations of crochet.
There is also a huge amount of delightful work by other artists and more demonstrations.

Big huge thanks to all of you in the Fun A Day Dundee team for all the hard work you put into this event. It was an absolute pleasure to take part.
Here are a few more photographs of the fun I had. Enjoy!

I used a framework of withies, hessian strips and reclaimed copper wires. The elements will be alligned with these as the work develops.

This wall hanging is designed to fit a specific space above a stairwell.
Over the next few days I will post some of the detail of the work.
Firstly – here is one of the freeform spirals before being incorporated. This is worked in two soft yarns of differing weights to give a variation in texture as well as colour.

OK – After what seems like forever, I am still learning how to blog. Yesterday I learned that galleries don’t seem to work very well. The pictures looked small and uninteresting and didn’t display at all in facebook. Just a big blank space – which did have a link to the gallery page, but it took ages to load. Now I understand why people post one photograph at time. So, please be patient with me as I learn.
